Okay, most of us can work and even retire in a job that we just don't like but in my case I really hate my job. It's simple. I applied for a job that promised me more pay and it's in writing. Nothing was said until I got my first pay check. I was told that it was a mistake by our Human Resources Office. I asked to quit but I was I couldn't because I signed a two year service agreement. Now, I'm fighting it, legally. I have no trust of my employer. I was marked for being late but that's because I don't make enough for gas and it's all because I budgeted on the pay that I was promised. I do good work but when I protested against this I was reprised. I was marked for showing up late to work exactly 5 mins. I even volunteered to make up the time but I was told that's personal. I just want to leave my job, what do I do without worrying about punitive damages? I mean they reniged to begin with...

If you signed a contract that specified a pay rate and obligated you to two years you can sue them for breach of contract. You can offer them the option of negating the contract so in exchange for not suing them.

When you say legally, did you hire an employment attorney? Also, it depends on what state you are in. If you are in a Right to Work state, like California, you stand a better chance. If you are in an At Will Employement state like Texas, not a very good chance. If you have something in writing, then they should honor what was written, this is where an amployment attorney can help. Again, depending on what state you are in - you may be able to sue for damages. The damages are the financial ones that you have suffered form not being paid what you were promised. If nothing else, you could try to have it mediated and be let out of the contract.

what state are you in? In CA you cannot be marked late unless you are more than 6 minutes. Its state law. Hope you win!
